Practical info
Location
Le Touquet Railway Crossing Cemetery is located 15 Km south of Ieper town centre, on a road leading from the Rijselseweg N365, which connects Ieper to Wijtschate, Mesen, Ploegsteert and onto Armentieres. From Ieper town centre the Rijselsestraat runs from the market square, through the Lille Gate (Rijselpoort) and directly over the crossroads with the Ieper ring road. The road name then changes to the Rijselseweg. 2 Km after the village of Ploegsteert lies the left hand turning onto Witteweg (Chemin de la Blanche). The first right hand turning from the Witteweg leads towards Motor Car Cemetery. At the end of this road lies the left hand turning towards Touquet. This road is called rue du Touquet. The cemetery is located 1 Km along this road after passing Tancrez Farm Cemetery.
